Chapter 2483 Never Left

Neon lights flickered on the streets, and there were small stalls everywhere on the wide streets. In the past, it was impossible for people to set up stalls among the buildings everywhere. Now, across the country, as long as they did not cause chaos, anyone could set up stalls anywhere on the street after obtaining the qualifications.

But they needed to obey the dispatch of the PLC, and they needed to clean the surrounding ground by themselves after setting up the stall. Now the streets are very lively, with people everywhere, and the stalls have everything from clothes and jewelry to snacks.

You can see some people in suits sitting on tables near the roadside drinking red wine and eating cheap snacks. This country has changed completely, and now more than half of the slums have disappeared.

In the future, there will be no more people who are hungry in this country, and the problem of drug abuse has been curbed, especially the new drugs that Tommy provided to the medical department to control harmful drugs, which have helped many people who were poisoned by harmful drugs to return to normal.

The entire medical industry has also ushered in unprecedented changes. Many pharmaceutical companies are directly regulated by the state. The price of drugs has fallen many times. Now seeing a doctor is no longer a luxury for many people.

Because the accelerators that controlled the entire country's medicine have collapsed, and even many medical technologies are no longer charged and have become free. Such measures and systems are unimaginable to many people.

A week ago, many people were still protesting against the abolition of cloning and the integration of Sterka into human society, but now there is no opposition, because many people know that the country can quickly reach this point, all thanks to Tommy's reforms of one system after another.

Although many people criticized Tommy's dictatorship before, no one thinks so now. Tommy has fulfilled most of his promises during the election and is still vigorously changing the country.

It is unimaginable for many people that the family can fall in just a few months, and although many people are rumored about where the people of those families went, they were taken to an underground special shelter and could not come out for the rest of their lives.

Such rumors are circulating in the streets and alleys, and many people think that the families handed over all their property in exchange for the opportunity to go to the special shelter.

In front of a small stall, Kelly was busy making pancakes. She wiped her sweat from time to time. After the previous incident, Kelly stopped working in the supermarket. Tommy helped her with her identity information.

When Kelly lived in the presidential residence, she liked to eat this kind of pancake. A chef taught Kelly how to make it. She taught Kelly all kinds of flavors. After the incident, Kelly didn't know what to do for a while. Finally, she had an idea and started selling pancakes on this avenue 10 kilometers away from the presidential residence.

Unexpectedly, the business was very popular at the beginning. Kelly could happily earn a good income by selling pancakes at night every day. She also directly refused Tommy's job arrangement for her.

Kelly looked at the pancakes on the iron plate happily. The guests were all praising it. Kelly also found that she was still talented in this area. In the past, she was constantly traveling around the country under the trafficking of human traffickers.

At that time, Kelly's food every day was not very delicious, so Kelly would think of ways to make things taste better at least.

The flashing neon lights on the street reflected Kelly's happy profile. She thought of that dreamlike world. Everything in the mine still made her feel a little uncomfortable, but after experiencing such things, Kelly felt like she had grown up overnight.

At this time, several patrolling PLCs came over and asked for pancakes of different flavors. Kelly smiled and started making them.

Such a hopeful and fulfilling feeling every day was unimaginable for Kelly. Kelly didn't know how old she was, probably in her early 20s, but for Kelly, the first 20 years were only suffering.

"When did it start?"

Kelly talked to herself, a smile bloomed on her greasy face. She also knew that she had good luck since she met Li Wei.

Sweat fell again, and Kelly hurriedly took a towel to wipe it. Seeing that the iron plate began to blur, Kelly could only wash her eyes first. The pancakes on the iron plate became burnt yellow, and Kelly hurriedly turned them over.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came, and Kelly gave the pancakes to several PLCs.

"What flavor would you like, sir?"

"Strawberry, please."

Kelly smiled happily. The man in front of her was very handsome. Although his hair was already gray, it was probably because he had suffered from some disease or it was hereditary. He looked to be in his 30s, very young and handsome. Many people around him cast their eyes on him, most of them women.

"Sir, 3D in total."

The man smiled softly, then sat on a small chair beside him and waited. Kelly looked at the man from time to time, and the man was also waiting for the pancakes.

After a while, the pancakes were finally ready. Kelly put the pancakes in a small bag and handed them to the silver-haired man. The man's smile made Kelly blush. She had never seen such a handsome man.

At this time, a woman came over to chat with him, but the man politely refused and just sat on a chair beside him, eating pancakes and looking at his phone. Kelly was still making pancakes when a delivery man came over with some food and wine.

After the man stood up and took it, he began to eat and drink. Time passed by minute by minute. Kelly was a little tired, but customers kept coming. Kelly had no choice but to continue working. It was already past 11 o'clock and it would soon be midnight.

Kelly wiped her sweat and looked at the silver-haired man who was still looking at his phone. Finally, all the ingredients were sold out. Kelly breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little tired. Suddenly, Kelly's hand fell on the iron plate. She screamed in pain.

"Miss, are you okay? Let's cool down with some wine first."

The man came with a glass of wine and poured it on Kelly's burnt area. Although Kelly was in pain, she was happy in her heart.

After a while, Kelly felt better. The man went to buy burn ointment for Kelly. After applying it, Kelly felt much better, but the stall was not confiscated.

"I can help, miss."

"No, sir, really no, thank you very much."

Kelly watched in embarrassment as the man in front of her packed up. She moved very quickly and finished it in a short while.

"Sir, what's your name? My name is Kelly."

"Jean!"

Gene smiled and took out a cigarette and lit it, then pushed the stall cart, while Kelly walked beside her. She now lives in a cheap basement with a monthly price of 200D near this street. It has a lot of space and can put a food cart. It is also easy to clean.

Soon, Gene sent Kelly back to the basement. Kelly planned to clean it, but Gene rolled up his sleeves to help clean it, which made Kelly feel even more embarrassed.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jean. How about I pay you? How much does it cost for cleaning and help?"

Gene smiled, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and turned around and said.

"When I want to eat pancakes, you just make me some for free."

Kelly hummed, she looked at the man in front of her in surprise, Gene said.

"Don't feel embarrassed, Miss. I just saw you were burned, so I came to help. It's fate."

After Jean finished cleaning, he chatted with Kelly for a while and left around 1 o'clock.

The streets were brightly lit, and Gene was walking down the street with his suit jacket and a cigarette in his mouth. He had been living in this country for several months and had never left.

The money he got from some criminals was enough to live here for a long time.

Gene didn't know what he was going to do, or he had to wait for Captain John's ship. As part of the world itself, it was impossible for them to sail in the world of microns for a long time.

Jean slowly came to a building, and then quietly took the elevator to the 19th floor.

"I'm back."

Under the dim light, Verla was reading a paper book quietly, her long snow-white hair hanging on the floor, she was wearing a light blue suspender skirt, and she smiled charmingly.

"What's wrong? Are you happy to see you?"

Gene smiled and scratched his head, then sat down with a serious expression.

"I met a girl who had no future and no past."

Vila frowned slightly and then asked.

"how can that be possible?"

Jean shook his head.

"I don't know about this."

Verla stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window. The black straps on her eyes were emitting a faint blue light. Water mist began to form on the windows. Jean walked to Verla's side. The two of them looked down at the brightly lit city and exposed their faces. smiled.

"This guy is too crazy."

Vila muttered, and Gene smiled and shook his head.

"I have also thought about doing this. Only by holding everything in my hands can I effectively control everything."

Vila nodded, she said with a smile.

"It is indeed a good idea, but it will definitely lead to destruction in the end. Just like I hold everything in my hands, everything in that frozen country did not go smoothly. In the end, I was betrayed by someone close to me."

Gene smiled helplessly and lit a cigarette.

"This time he may or may not succeed."

Gene has been watching Tommy implement a series of systems over the past few months, and the entire country has indeed become better.

"What about you? Have you changed your mind?"

Gene shook his head.

"I have never changed my mind, so I left Brilliant City. This mind will probably never change for the rest of my life."

Vella asked with a giggle.

"Don't you want Ellie?"

Gene shook his head.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I knew from the beginning that her and I have very different ideas. I've only been cooperating with Ai Li's ideas and gradually built the Brilliant City with others. I knew what would happen. , but there is nothing I can do to change it.”

Vila sighed, ice flowers were floating in the air, she stretched out her fingers to catch an ice flower, and breathed slowly in the light blue light.

"Where will the key be, the key to open this cage?"

Vella asked and Gene shook his head.

"All our guesses were wrong. The key was well hidden by the Nurturer. Even Ellie doesn't know about it. Maybe the key doesn't exist and this cage is eternal."

Vila laughed with a clear voice and shook her head.

"If this was really the case, humankind would have been extinct long ago, and the cage would have been broken. When John and the others arrive, there may be new discoveries."

Gene snorted and exhaled a puff of smoke. His eyes showed helplessness. Virla reached out and gently touched Gene's face, but Gene pushed it away.

"I was able to escape the will of the Devourer, thanks to you Jean."

Gene smiled and shook his head.

"It all depends on your own willpower Viela, but the power of the Devourer in you may become an obstacle to us in the future."

Vila smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, if that day comes, I will find a way to kill myself. After all, if we really fail, the whole world will cease to exist."

Jean sat down and thought quietly.

"I don't know how many years it will take for humans to make interstellar travel, but what is certain is that the planet will not be able to sustain it before it starts."

Virla laughed.

"If you are so worried, you can go back and take a look at the current situation in Brilliant City."

Gene shook his head.

"No matter how worried you are, it's pointless, after all, things have already reached this point."

Vila leaned gently on Gene's arm, raised her head and smiled bitterly.

"If I could go back, maybe I should commit suicide."

Gene didn't answer. He closed his eyes, but he still said.

"Without you, Frost City would not have been established, and humankind would not be able to continue. Without you, I might still be struggling with the next path."

Virla laughed.

"You have taught many people how to survive and find their own path, but what about you? Gene, have you ever thought that your path may have come to an end?"

Gene pressed his forehead and shook his head.

"I have been thinking about this issue, but more often, what I care about is not the result, but the process. I have taught them what I can teach, as Ellie wished, so I have no regrets. Continue I will end everything in my own way."

Verla hummed and then asked.

"You have to figure out what's going on with that girl who has no past and future."

Gene hummed.

2:00.

Tommy sat on the balcony and stared at Kelly's information quietly. He felt something was wrong. Tommy took a sip of wine and then laughed helplessly.

Tommy still couldn't move to where Kelly was. It was clear that Kelly's information had been recorded in this world, but Tommy still couldn't move there.

"What the hell is going on?"

When Kelly lived in the mansion a while ago, Tommy also conducted a comprehensive examination on Kelly and found nothing special about Kelly.

Even in Yuko's world, Kelly no longer exists. Eddie was unable to create Kelly. This shocked Tommy, and Eddie was also trying to find the reason.

"What the hell is going on?"

Tommy already knew what those gravekeepers were about, but he still couldn't understand what Kelly's existence meant.

"Don't think about this for now. Let's go see how the research is going tomorrow." ()
